I wanted to congratulate Hugo Fernández for his video and for his poem published in the anthology "One Hundred Poems for a Summer." In my opinion, the poem has the occasional structural and compositional flaw, which should be polished, but it is full of emotion and feeling. It manages to reach the heart of the one who reads it and that is really what matters in poetry: transmitting, passing through armor. A great love story that does not leave you indifferent.
